Our main studio is based in Guildford, and we now also have a small office in Brighton.

We are Media Molecule, a Guildford based game developer proudly part of the PlayStation Studios group. We have a history of creating Award winning games such as LittleBigPlanet, Tearaway and Dreams., Embrace collaboration. Media Molecule loves a game jam, so we need team members that can work well together - sometimes across departments that don’t traditionally overlap. Maybe you already work on a team, or manage a guild or play in a band - we’d love to hear how you get on collaborating with others.

Be yourself. We are a studio that encourages our team think creatively, to play with new technology and jam on individual ideas. We love seeing the personality of everyone at Media Molecule so it’s YOU and YOUR STYLE that we are interested in learning about.

Go for it. Media Molecule is filled with people with all sorts of previous experiences - straight from university, from jobs outside the industry, from AAA studios and indie ones, etc. We are after people who fit the roles we are hiring for not a specific number of years in the industry. Some roles benefit from certain experience, of course, but otherwise we are very open. We make creative games, and creativity is something we all enjoy. If you are interested then please apply - and don’t forget that portfolio!
